Supporters worldwide united with Angelenos in jubilation, marking the first time in a quarter-century that a franchise has secured consecutive championships. Victory Parade Draws Enormous Turnout Los Angeles area events featured a downtown parade on Monday morning, a reserved-seating event at Dodger Stadium, and impromptu gatherings across the city. Social media videos depict thousands of Los Angeles residents flooding downtown streets, many carrying homemade signs and team flags. The squad was seen traveling proudly on a double-decker bus through the masses, raising the Commissioner’s trophy high. “I’m already thinking about the next championship we’re going to do this,” the star player remarked through an interpreter. The procession path ended at Dodger Stadium, where the team emerged to the rapper’s “Not Like Us,” with DJ Mustard spinning music and Ice Cube cruising a Pacific blue vintage Cadillac around the stadium’s outfield. Early Celebrations and Player Reactions Celebrations began well before the procession, with Dodgers fans lighting flares in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles on the previous evening. The World Series MVP, named the MVP of the championship, spoke plainly about the win. “Losing is not an option,” Yamamoto said. “I love the Dodgers. I love Los Angeles.” Varied Responses and Community Spirit In contrast, Mark Walter received a cooler welcome at the celebration. Video footage from the gathering appear to show him walking onstage to a combination of cheers and boos, with negative shouts punctuating his address. The championship served as a bright spot in what has been a trying year for the city. An estimated quarter-million people attended to the championship parade last year, and according to Dodgers player one athlete, supporters this year showed equal or greater enthusiasm. “It seems it’s almost double from last year,” Freeman said. “The supporters are incredible. It’s truly amazing to be a part of this.”
